Picking Up Fragments in PUBG

"Calling you Uncle is fine, but you have to take me to Electric City to play now; I want to play with the electric toys~"

Zhao Xiaoxiao raised her price and took advantage of the situation.

Jiang Siming had no way to deal with her for the time being, so he could only compromise.

The two drove to Electric City, and Zhao Xiaoxiao hummed a song while licking a giant lollipop.

Jiang Siming felt that the way this girl was eating the lollipop seemed a bit inappropriate. Was it just his twisted thoughts...?

"Uncle Jiang, you took our teacher out today; what do you plan to do about it?" Zhao Xiaoxiao asked with a grin.

"When did I take your teacher out? That's too ridiculous," Jiang Siming said, stopping at the intersection to wait for the red light.

"Come on, you played the piano and saved her. How could my pure and kind piano teacher resist such an 'attack'? She's probably had a crush on you for a long time," Zhao Xiaoxiao said with an adult tone, refusing to be ignored.

Jiang Siming even suspected this girl might be a time traveler, harboring the soul of a 70-year-old woman!

"Don't! I haven't been to Electric City for a long time, and my mom is working overtime today; just take me to have some fun~" Zhao Xiaoxiao immediately backed down.

Jiang Siming felt a sense of adult authority returning to him. It seemed this girl wasn't a time traveler; a 70-year-old woman wouldn't want to play with electric toys, right?

They drove to a large Electric City nearby. As soon as they entered, Zhao Xiaoxiao got excited, pulling Jiang Siming to buy 300 yuan worth of game tokens.

Then she took him to play King of Fighters at the arcade.

Jiang Siming really didn't expect this girl to enjoy such a violent game. Do girls really like playing King of Fighters '97? And she was born after the '00s!

But seeing how much she liked it, Jiang Siming played a few rounds with her, only to lose every time.

Zhao Xiaoxiao even beat him three times in a row using just Yashiro.

"Uncle Jiang, you're so bad! Aren't you supposed to be the world game champion?" Zhao Xiaoxiao teased. Continue reading stories on empire

"My game is on PC, alright? Besides, I haven't played this game in years; I'm really out of practice," Jiang Siming awkwardly made excuses, feeling embarrassed to be beaten by a little girl.

After playing a few more rounds, he still kept losing.

Zhao Xiaoxiao stood up, feeling disheartened, and pulled Jiang Siming to the next game: a racing simulator.

The two sat in the game pod, driving their chosen cars at full speed.

Jiang Siming was very confident in racing games; he not only had skills in PUBG driving but also real-world racing experience.

In just a few rounds, he made Zhao Xiaoxiao submit completely.

Afterward, they played various arcade games in Electric City, and with only a little over 100 tokens left, they spent them all on grabbing stuffed toys.

When they exited Electric City, Zhao Xiaoxiao was hugging a bunch of stuffed animals and plush toys, along with a giant toy.

Don't get it wrong; none of these were grabbed by Jiang Siming; they were all won by this little girl herself.

Jiang Siming spent nearly 50 game tokens and didn't grab a single thing, yet he had to carry a large pile of stuffed toys for her.

He initially thought about taking them home, but on the way, he saw a few underprivileged kids staring at the stuffed toys with envy.

"Xiaoxiao, how about...?"

"I understand, no need to say more," Zhao Xiaoxiao interrupted Jiang Siming, walking toward the kids.

She generously gave all the toys to them, even including Jiang Siming's.

In the end, only a little yellow minion plush was left.

The kids were thrilled to receive so many toys, calling Zhao Xiaoxiao "sister" one after another.

When Zhao Xiaoxiao returned to Jiang Siming's side, she was beaming with pride. Jiang Siming smiled and patted her head, saying, "Good job, Xiaoxiao, you're really considerate."

Zhao Xiaoxiao pouted and pushed Jiang Siming's hand away, complaining, "Don't treat me like a child. In a few years, I'll be an adult; I'm a grown-up!"

"Alright, you're a grown-up. Then let's head home, Ms. Zhao."

"Okay, then please lead the way, Mr. Jiang."

The two exchanged a glance and burst into laughter.

After 9 PM, Jiang Siming finally dropped Zhao Xiaoxiao off at her home.

Exhausted from all the fun, Zhao Xiaoxiao had already fallen asleep in the passenger seat, so Jiang Siming carefully carried her inside.

Zhao Xuanzhao was already waiting at home.

Seeing Jiang Siming, Zhao Xuanzhao shot him a reproachful look with her beautiful eyes, as if blaming him for taking her daughter out to play.

Jiang Siming responded with a radiant smile, then he carried Zhao Xiaoxiao upstairs, placed her in her bedroom, tucked her in, and closed the door before coming downstairs.

"You really spoil Xiaoxiao; she still has school tomorrow, and you brought her home so late," Zhao Xuanzhao said as she poured a glass of water for Jiang Siming, leaning her body against his embrace.

"Isn't it because I saw how tired she was from school every day? Besides, it's not that late; it's only nine o'clock. It's fine. Xiaoxiao does so well in her studies; she can manage herself," Jiang Siming said as he wrapped his arm around Zhao Xuanzhao's shoulder and took a sip of lemon water.

"But you can't just leave me home alone while you go out to have fun. I end up looking like the bad guy, while you get to be the good one," Zhao Xuanzhao said, pretending to be angry as she lightly tapped Jiang Siming's chest.

Jiang Siming took Zhao Xuanzhao's delicate hand and said with a mischievous smile, "It's my fault, it's my fault. I've set aside the entire evening just for you. Come on, let's go to bed."

Zhao Xuanzhao's face turned crimson as she gave Jiang Siming a big eye roll, but her feet were already off the ground as he carried her back to the room.

"Why Not?" had fermented over the course of a day and was now available on all major music platforms.

Although it was still outside the top ten, its upward momentum was comparable to that of "Galloping Horse" and "A Person's Paris."

In particular, many short video platforms began using this song as background music, providing significant promotional power for "Why Not?"

Having released four singles, Jiang Siming was steadily gaining fans, becoming a somewhat well-known figure in the pop music scene in Huaxia.

More music companies and talent agencies were showing interest in Jiang Siming.

Throughout the day, Jiang Siming received five calls, all from companies wanting to sign contracts with him.

His popularity was beginning to ferment, like a bottle of yeast wine, becoming more aromatic with the accumulation of achievements and the passage of time, attracting more distant guests.

Jiang Siming's "wine aroma" had already caught the attention of a well-known variety show platform. The director was quite interested in him and was considering whether it was worth inviting him over.

However, Jiang Siming was unaware of all this. Li Yingzi informed him that the company model had been tentatively established.

Currently, there were only a few people; there were only five operators, and the company didn't even have an administration or reception, nor had it been decorated.

Li Yingzi had temporarily rented a residential house with Jiang Siming's money, planning to place computers there until the company was fully decorated before moving everyone over.

Looking at the very simple living room of the three-bedroom apartment, which housed a dozen computers, he saw five older operators standing in front of him, looking at Jiang Siming with a mix of suspicion and curiosity.

Most of them were over thirty-five, three men and two women.
